[Karaoke] A Collection of Songs Whose Titles Start with 'Mo'
At karaoke, people sometimes set various rules, like singing songs by the same artist or choosing based on song titles.
One fun idea is to pick a letter from the Japanese syllabary and sing “songs that start with ___.”
In this article, we’ll introduce a selection of songs that start with “mo,” so feel free to use this as a reference for your next karaoke session.
Many of these tracks feature sentimental words like “moshi” (if) and “mou” (already/no longer), so it can be nice to think about the lyrics’ meaning or imagine the story as you sing.
Be sure to check out these “mo”-starting songs by artists who’ve been active from the Showa era through Heisei and into Reiwa.

MomentsAyumi Hamasaki
A song that weaves together heartache and selfless devotion to others has captured the hearts of many.
Centered on the transience of dreams and the harshness of reality, its lyrics stand out for their profound emotional expression.
The ballad-style melody, highlighted by Ayumi Hamasaki’s powerful yet delicate vocals, resonates deeply with listeners.
Released in March 2004, the track was also featured in a commercial for KOSÉ’s cosmetics brand VISÉE.
It’s recommended for occasions when you want to express gratitude to someone special, such as Mother’s Day or weddings.

Stop the night once moreKenjiro Sakiyama
If you want to nail a cool, moody vibe with a ballad, I recommend Mō Ichido Yoru o Tomete (“Stop the Night Once More”).
It’s one of Kenjirō Sakiya’s signature songs and a work that epitomizes late-’80s and ’90s Japanese ballads.
While it shares much with standard pop ballads, it also carries a touch of R&B, giving the track a subtle groove.
The key is high and the vocal line is fairly challenging, but definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

No more tears are neededMasayuki Suzuki
Sex appeal and cool sophistication are closely related.
That’s why I recommend “Mou Namida wa Iranai” (“No More Tears”).
It’s a hit by Masayuki Suzuki that became a nationwide sensation in the 1990s.
The biggest draw of this song is its expansive vocal line.
The smooth vocal parts, firmly rooted in Black music, exude an adult allure.
While the melody itself isn’t particularly difficult, the singer’s vocal timbre is crucial.
If you can pull it off, you’ll definitely leave a strong impression of refined coolness.

Set to gentle vocals and a soothing melody, this heartwarming song expresses the confusions and uncertainties of life.
Released in January 2005, it reached No.
8 on the Oricon weekly chart.
It was also chosen as the ending theme for TV Tokyo’s “Ganso! Debuya,” resonating with many listeners.
A work that epitomizes Remioromen’s musicality, it carries a message exploring the complexities of human relationships and the meaning of life.
Sing it at karaoke, and it’s sure to deeply move those who listen.

A song that portrays a mature romance, with Kaori Mizumori and Ryuji Harada’s vocals resonating deeply.
The story begins with a rainy scene, evoking memories of their first meeting and expressing the precious time shared by the two.
With a Latin-tinged rhythm, this adult kayōkyoku conveys both the joy and the poignancy of love.
